PREFACE. 


It ii with the utmost diffidence that I 
presume to lay the following Sheets be¬ 
fore the Public: but I trust that the 
general utility of a work of the kind, if 
properly executed, is a sufficient apology 
for the present attempt; especially when 
it is considered, that although we have 
always been in the habit of employing 
many Native Seamen in our shipping, 
there is no work to be had, which is 
calculated to enable an Officer of a ship 
to give his orders, or carry on a conver¬ 
sation with the Lascars, upon the most 
common occurrences connected with his 
several duties. 

To obviate this, I have not only 


31 PREFACE. 

translated all tlie words and phrases I 
could find in several English Naval 
works, but also availed myself of the 
leisure afforded by a long passage be¬ 
tween England and India, in collecting 
all the words of command, &c. which I 
heard made use of in the actual working 
of the ship, as well as by consulting 
Captain Thomas Dumbleton, and the 
Officers of the Honorable Company’s 
extra ship Larkins, whenever I was at 
a loss with respect to the exact meaning 
of any English sea term; and I must 
here acknowledge how much I owe to 
their kindness on many occasions. The 
very satisfactory manner in which they 
explained every difficulty, which, in the 
course of my nautical studies , I had occa¬ 
sion to trouble them with, demands my 
most sincere thanks. 


PREFACE,. 


iii 

The work from which I have re¬ 
ceived the greatest assistance is entitled 
“ The Midshipman’s, or British Mariner’s 
Vocabulary, being an Universal Dic¬ 
tionary of Technical Terms and Sea 
Phrases, used in the Construction, Equip¬ 
ment, Management, and Military Ope¬ 
rations of a Ship. By J. J. Moore. 
Second Edition. London, 1805.” This 
invaluable work may be considered as 
the groundwork of the English part of 
my Dictionary, which my kind friend, 
Captain Dumbleton, was so obliging as 
to read over, and to insert in it such 
useful terms as had inadvertently been 
omitted, and at the same time to mark 
those words which appeared to him to be 
of little or no use in a Hindoostanee 
Naval Dictionary. This will account for 
many words having been left out, either 


IV PREFACE, 

from their being more applicable to the 
Royal Navy, to European navigation, 
or to that advanced state of nautical 
science, which distinguishes the nations 
of Europe from those of Asia. 

It is necessary to mention, in this place, 
that an immense number of English, Por¬ 
tuguese, and other words are used by the 
Lascars, but often so completely changed 
by them in pronunciation, that it is diffi¬ 
cult to say whether they be corruptions or 
not. As the greater number of the cor¬ 
ruptions are English words, I have de¬ 
noted them in the Italic character, as 
corresponding with that in which the 
English portion of the Dictionary is print¬ 
ed; but upon the grand plea of utility, 
I have thought it advisable to retain the 
words in their corrupted state, as being, 
in my opinion, better understood by the 


PREFACE. 


V 


Lascars. Such words must, however, be 
pronounced agreeably to the powers of 
the letters, as exhibited in page xvi, &c. 

All words corrupted from the Por¬ 
tuguese and other languages are printed 
in Roman type, and I have generally 
mentioned at the bottom of the page to 
what language they belong; however, 
this is more a matter of curiosity than of 
utility. The attentive reader will quick¬ 
ly perceive, that a considerable portion 
of the words used by the Lascars are 
corruptions of Portuguese, which may 
be accounted for, in a great measure, 
from their having been the first naviga¬ 
tors in this part of the globe. 

In consequence of not being able to 
obtain appropriate Hindoostanee terms 
for some few English words, I first in¬ 
fo

PREFACE. 


tended to have left them out; but, upon 
the consideration that some persons might 
hereafter be more fortunate, I inserted 
them in their proper places. 

I acknowledge, with pleasure, the 
aid which I received from the Hindoo- 
stanee Naval Terms in Gilchrist’s 
British Indian Monitor, as communicated 
by Captain W. Ramsay, of the Country 
Service; and which, I am happy to say, 
are pretty correct: for, in general, I found 
the terms used by him to be perfectly 
intelligible to the different Surhungs em¬ 
ployed by me. In several words he and 
they differ with respect to the pronun¬ 
ciation ; and, in that case, I have fol¬ 
lowed my Native Guides: for Captain 
Ramsay only pronounced the words, as 
well as he could recollect, to Dr. Gil¬ 
christ | whereas I wrote them as pro-

arrival here overhauled his pronunciation, 
in his own presence, by the assistance 
of Shekel Duolct Surhung , from Is¬

been employed about twenty years in the Country 
Service of Bombay and this Port, by which means he 
was enabled to furnish me with such words as are 
generally used by the Lascars of both places.

differ considerably in their pronunciation 
of many words throughout the work, as 
might be expected, considering that they 
all four come from parts of India widely 
distant from each other ; I have therefore 
made it my study, not only to obtain the 
various modes of pronouncing the same 
word, but also to get those terms made 
use of by the Lascars from different Sea- 
Ports of India, and I have generally 
mentioned, in the form of a note, by 
whom the particular word is used, so as 
to enable an Officer of a Ship to adapt 
his language to whatever set of Lascars 
he may happen to have under his com¬ 
mand. 


THE 


FIRST PRINCIPLES 

OF 

HINDOOSTANEE GRAMMAR. 


LETTERS. 

As most of the letters in the English 
alphabet (especially the vowels) have two or 
three sounds, it was necessary, in order to 
express' the Hindoostanee words properly, 
either to have the work printed in the 
Oriental Characters, the appearance of which 
would certainly have defeated the intention 
of general utility which I have solely in view, 
or to follow some fixed system of pronuncia¬ 
tion, whereby each letter is in every situation 
b 3 


X 


FIRST PRINCIPLES OF 


to be pronounced as in examples furnished 
from our own language 5 I therefore had not 
the least hesitation in preferring the latter 
plan. 

The system of Orthography' and Or¬ 
thoepy adopted in this work was invented, 
several years ago, by Dr. John Borthwick 
Gilchrist, and has ever since been uni¬ 
versally used throughout India, but more 
especially by those gentlemen who have any 
claim to an accurate pronunciation of the 
Hindoostanee language. It has been used in 
the publication of several excellent Hindoos¬ 
tanee works by Dr. Borthwick Gilchrist, 
and has been adopted by Dr. William 
Hunter, (without the least change) in his 
valuable Hindoostanee and English Dic¬ 
tionary. Indeed, there is no system with 
which I am acquainted, that is half so 
perfect, so easily learnt, or so well calculated 


HINDOOS TAN EE GRAMMAR. xi 

to express the Hindoostanee, Persian,* Arabic, 
and other Oriental languages; I should 
therefore hope, the public will conceive 1 am 
justified in the adoption of a system, which 
has already met with the approbation of two 
of the most learned Oriental Scholars of the 
present time. I think it proper, in this place, 
to acquaint the reader, that it is indispensably 
necessary to make himself perfectly master of 
the whole system of pronunciation before he 
attempfs to speak to the Lascars, otherwise 
it is a thousand to one, if, from his bad 
pronunciation of the language, he is under¬ 
stood ‘j whereas, on the contrary, should he 
persevere for about a week in acquiring and 
applying the present system to the Hin- 
doostanee words as they occur in the body of 
the work, I am convinced that he will not

Grammar of the Persian language. 




xii FIRST PRINCIPLES OF 

only be able to pronounce the language like 
the Lascars, but will also understand much 
better the words when pronounced by them. 
I shall now proceed to explain the system to 
the best of my ability. 

1st. The most consistent application of 
the English Alphabet is the standard in all cases. 

2d. Each simple and compound sound 
has a particular letter, or familiar combi¬ 
nation, uniformly to express it, whatever its 
position, as initial, medial, or final, may be. 
(See 3, 7, and 10.) 

3d. No letter has two sounds, and the 
name of every letter corresponds, as far as 
possible, with its actual power. 

4th. No mute or superfluous characters 
ever occur at the end or in any other portion 
of a word, and two Roman letters are never 
used to express a sound which can be conve¬ 
niently done by one. 


HINDOOSTANF.E GRAMMAR. xili 

As it may sometimes happen, that a long 
or short vowel, such as a or u, precedes ano¬ 
ther vowel, as for instance o, forming thereby 
a diphthongal sound which is not required, 
this is easily prevented, by inserting a small 
mark between the letters, which then dis¬ 
tinctly retain their separate sounds : thus 
ga 4 o, a cow; but without the mark it would 
be sounded as if written guo, which, however, 
is often the case ; for instance, the word a 4 o, 
come you , is pronounced by the vulgar uo, 
which also means and. The small mark (,) 
is also used to distinguish aspirated from 
guttural sounds. (See 15.) 

5th. Long vowels are always to be pro¬ 
nounced as full, open, and broad as possible, 
while the short vowels must be pronounced 
equally short. 

6th. The diphthongal sounds of i or y 
in driver, dry, and of ou or ow in foul, 


XIV 


FIRST PRINCIPLES OF 


fowl, are respectively expressed by ue and 
and uo, thus druever, dr lie, fuol. (See 8.) 

7th. Y must be treated as a consonant 
invariably; g always hard, as it's soft sound 
is constantly expressed by j. 

8th. U has invariably the sound as in 
fun, sun, up, cull, gun, hull, &c. or the 
short a, as in the words America, Africa, idea, 
&c. It never represents in this work the 
sound of u in use (yoos), nor the u in bull 
(bool). (See 3.) The name of every letter 
in the Hindoostance alphabet deviates so 
little from its actual power, that hu (our 
aitch) is thus expressed by the aspirate 
joined with the shortest possible sound of a 
viz. u. 

9th. When d, t, r, should be sounded 
harsher than they are in English, and n 
when nasal, the whole are denoted thus/ 
d, t, r, n. 


HINDOOSTANEE GRAMMAR. 


XV 


10th. Gh and kh,* are both harsh gut¬ 
turals, common to Northern dialects, but 
generally confounded by illiterate natives of 
India, .and most Europeans, with g and k. 
(See 2 and 15.) 

11th. Q represents a deep, difficult, 
guttural sound, vulgarly pronounced as a 
mere k, but without the u or w of our q, in 
(keer) qeer, pitch , not queer, kweer. (See 2.) 
In consequence of the Surhungs pronouncing 
q as a simple k, I have throughout the work, 
in most places, intentionally used the letter k, 
although perfectly aware that the word in the 
original character is spelt with q. 

12th. G t li, k 4 h, t.h, and other aspirated 
consonants, always preserve the full breathing 
sound of the h, as in dog t house, block 4 head, 
nut 4 hook. (See 4.) 

* Properly the Northumbrian r in bur, though con- 
ounded, as st ated above, with hard g.

13th. Those letters and combinations, 
only, that require farther elucidation, are here 
appropriately exemplified in English, the rest 
being common to that and the Hindoostanee 
language 5 in which, as in our own, the in¬ 
termediate shades of long and short vowels 
must be regulated by the ear entirely. 

14th. The following letters, when ap¬ 
plied to express the Hindoostanee, as well as 
the corruptions of English, Portuguese, and 
other words, as used by Lascars*, must, in 
every situation, be pronounced as in the En- 


glish examples above them.

will quickly perceive that he forms insensibly from 
u 4 e the sound required ue (eye), which diphthong with 

i 

the letter f prefixed, gives the word fue (fy). Accord * 1 - 
ing to this plan, dry is written drue, and my, mue. 
Had the letter y been lontmued, to express the sound 
of ue, this of course would strike at the root of the 
excellent rule already laid down (see 3) ; for y would 
then be used in the double capacity of consonant and 
vowel. Example, mueda (myda) flour , meal, &c. 
Here the ue is the vowel. If pronounced as in kya 
•what f it would be a consonant, thereby conferring a 
sound on this word which it has not. 

f This uo is upon the same principle as the ue.

The consonants, in general, having the

sung, sunk, dull, tub, bur

It appears to have been reversed by us in such words as 
our, how, and which formed agreeably to the order of 
the component parts of this diphthong, ought to be 
uor, huo ; for it must strike the most superficial ob¬ 
server, that in pronouncing the words our house , the 
sound of the u in fun, sun, &c. precedes that of o. I 
may also mention, that the Hindoostanee word uor 
and, is written, in both the Persian and Nagree cha¬ 
racters, with the letter u preceding the o. 

* The soft sounds of these three letters, which

15th. The learner has to recollect one 
only mark, viz. ( 4 ) already noticed in 4, to 
distinguish aspirated from guttural sounds $ 
as, k.hur grass , weed, from khur an ass, or 
n.g, n 4 k, s 4 h, from ng, nk, and sh, when ne¬ 
cessary. (See 10 and 12.) 

16th. All the vowels, and many of the 
consonants, are so very apt, in different pro¬ 
vinces of India, to be substituted for each 
other, that the learner must always be on his 
guard against this change 5 but he may.be 
misled by the same word being pronounced

three or four different ways. To obviate this <* 
as much as possible, I have employed four 
Surhungs (vulgarly called Serangs) from'dif¬ 
ferent parts of India, to assist me in pre¬ 
paring the work for the press, from whom I 
have been at great pains to obtain separately 
the true pronunciation of such words, about 
which they differed $ so that I hope, in ge¬ 
neral, the reader will not only find the words 
as pronounced in the different parts of India, 
but also many terms peculiar to certain ports. 

17th. Should the reader have no oppor¬ 
tunity of acquiring the true sound of gh, kh, 
q, d, t, r, he may, in the mean time, treat 
them simply as g, k, d, &c. respectively. 

SYLLABLES. 

ISth. The number of syllables in any 
word commonly depends on the number of its 
vowels or diphthongs. When two consonants 


HINDOOSTANEE GRAMMAR. 


XXI 


occur between vowels they should be divided ; 
if one only, let it be given to the last or 
following vowel j as in Moo-sul-man, juha- 
zee. This holds good, likewise, when the 
consonant is aspirated; thus, du-k t hun, the 
south , not duk-hun. Sometimes two con¬ 
sonants meet, as in English. Example, gurm, 
warm ; though among the Lascars pronounced 
often gurum. 

19th. In this division the letter y must 
always be deemed a consonant: whence the 
verb kiya, made , done , has two syllables, thus* 
ki-ya 5 while the interrogative pronoun, kya, 
what , has only one. 

20th. Having now given all that I con¬ 
ceive necessary to enable a person to pro¬ 
nounce the words in the body of the work, 
so as to be perfectly understood by the Lascars, 
I proceed to treat of the 


XXli 


FIRST PRINCIPLES OF 


NOUN. 

The Article. 

The articles, a and the, are either inhe¬ 
rent in the noun j as juhaz, a or the ship : or, 
ek, one , ko 4 ee, any, express the indefinite, 
a, an: and wooh, he, she, it, that ; yih, he, 
she, this ; hee or ee, very 5 the definite article, 
the. 

21st. Nouns masculine, ending in con¬ 
sonants, are declined like juhaz. 

Singular. 

N. Juhaz, a ship. 

G. Juhaz ka, ke, kee, of a ship. 

D. Juhaz ko, koo, koon,* to a ship . 


* Ko is considered the most correct, but koo and 
koon are fully as much used by the Lascars, Any of 
the three being perfectly understood, the reader may 
use any he pleases. 



HINDOOSTANEE GRAMMAR, xxiii 

A. Juhaz ko, koo, koon, a ship. 

V. Juhaz re ! 0 ship ! 

A. Juhaz se, with a ship. 

Plural. 

N. Juhaz, ships. 

G. Juhazon ka, ke, kee, of ships. 

D. Juhazon ko, koo, koon, to ships, 

A. Juhazon ko, koo, koon, ships. 

V. Juhazo, O ships ! 

A. Juhazon se, with ships. 

Had this noun been feminine, the nominative 
plural would have been juhazen, like kitaben, 
boohs , from kitab, a book , which, in every 
other respect, is declined as juhaz. When 
feminines terminate in ee, their nominative 
plural in in yan, whence goliyan, bullets', and 
the inflection is yon, as goliyon ka, of bullets , 
from golee a bullet. Masculines in ee, as 
well as feminines, do not change in the sin¬ 
gular j and the nominative plural of mascu- 


XXIV 


FIRST PRINCIPLES OF 


lines in ee is always the same as the singular^ 
yet the inflection is into yon. Example, 
dative singular, motee ko, to a pearl, nomi¬ 
native plural, motee, pearls, dative plural, 
motiyon ko, to pearls. 

22d. When nouns end in a or u, the 
declension commonly runs so : 

N. Gola, a ball, gole, balls. 

G. Gole ka, ke, kee, golon ka, ke, kee, of 
of a ball, balls. 

D. Gole ko, to a ball, golon ko, to balls, 

A. Gole ko, a ball, golon ko, balls. 

V. Gole re, O ball, golo, O balls. 

A. Gole se, with a ball, golon se, with balls. 

23d. Ka, the genitive sign, becomes ke 
or kee, according to circumstances, to be 
hereafter explained. (See 25.) 

Ko, koo, or koon, the dative sign, im¬ 
plies also for, at, &c. When to, it is rather 
a locative than a donative sign. It often 


IIINDOOSTANEE GRAMMAR. XXV 


requires to be expressed by pas, near, nigli to $ 
as juhaz pas, near, nigh to, or to a ship. As 
the accusative sign it appears redundant in 
English, and is frequently dispensed with in 
Hindoostanee 3 especially with verbs of giving 
and receiving. 

Re, and ure, the vocative signs, are little 
used, as o, ue, and he, more commonly usurp 
their place 3 as, O bap, 0 father ! he b 4 ha t ee, 
0 brother 3 for bap re, b t ha 4 ee re. 

Se, soon, sen, the ablative sign, means 
also from, by, &c. When with, it is rather 
a social than an instrumental sign. Sat t h is 
preferred to se ; juhaz sat 4 h, with, along with 
a ship, from denoting vicinity, may be ex¬ 
pressed by ke pas se 3 as juhaz ke pas s e,from 
(near) a ship. 

24th. Besides the foregoing signs of the 
cases, the following will be found useful in 
their several places : men, in, on, at, &C .3 pur. 


XXVI 


FIRST PRINCIPLES OF 


on, aboard', kune, tu.een, tuk, pas, to, as far 
as 5 sitee, sat.h, with 3 juhaz men, in a ship 3 
jukaz pur, aboard ship ; juhaz tuk, to, as far 
as the ship. Some of the above, as well as 
several other adverbial prepositions, which 
have been very properly termed by Dr. Bortk- 
wick Gilchrist postpositions in the Hindoo- 
stanee, require the genitive case inflected 3 
as, juhaz ke pas, nigh to a ship 3 juhazon ke 
satja, along with, in company of ships 3 dol 
ke oopur, above the mast : but the ke is not 
essentially necessary, juhaz pas, to a ship, nigh 
to a ship, being ful’y as much used. 

25th. If ka, of, be always translated by 
’s and considered as an adjective, its con¬ 
struction must be very obvious in sentences 
like, the boy's father's sister's house, lurke ke 
bap kee buhin ka g t hur 3 cow's milk, ga t e ka 
dood ( h j the colour of core's milk, ga 4 e ke 
dood t h ka rung 3 from the colour of cow's 


HINDOOSTANEE GRAMMAR. XXV:i 


milk, ga 4 e ke dood.h ke rung se. If the word 
following be feminine, kee ought to be used 5 
as, the musket's ball, bundooq kee golee : 
although the Lascars do not attend much to 
this rule. 

26th. The most common postpositions 
are oopur, above, up, aloft ; neeche, below, 
down, beneath ; waste, for, account of-, turuf, 
towards, side 5 turuh, manner, like age, be¬ 
fore, afore, in front of-, peech 4 he, behind, abaft, 
aft. The two last are pronounced by the 
Lascars agil, peech.hil.

* One inflection being deemed sufficient in the 
Hindoostanee, pooranon ka, ke, or kee, can be used 
only substantively; as poorane, ancestors, pooranon 
ka, of ancestors. When the noun is feminine, the ad¬ 
jective in a becomes ee; but it is then as indeclinable 
as muzboot, already exhibited.

V. Pooranee goliyo ! 0 old bullets ! 

A. Pooranee goliyon se, with old bullets. 

28th. The degrees of comparison are, 
for the most part, rendered by the simple ad¬ 
jective, with or without se, than , or buhoot, 
very. Example. Juhaz muchwe se muzboot 
hue, a ship is stronger than a boat muzboot 
se muzboot (or sub se muzboot) juhaz, the 
strongest ship buhoot muzboot juhaz, a very 
strong ship ; kuon juhaz muzboot, which ship 
(is) the strongest ?

THE VERB. 

31st. The imperative, in the second per¬ 
son singular, is the root of every verb in the 
Hindoostanee language ; and is that portion 
of the verb which is most required by 
Officers and others, in giving their commands 
to the Lascars. 

Every infinitive terminates in na, an¬ 
swering exactly to our sign to. Example, 
To hoist, hukarna 5 to hold on, hoodarna; 




xl FIRST PRINCIPLES OF 

to haul home, chikar tanna. By omitting 
to and its corresponding Hindoostanee par¬ 
ticle na, the second person of the imperative 
is formed $ as, hukar, hoist 5 hoodar, hold on j 
chikar tan, haul home. Should the learner 
wish to form the second person plural, which 
is also much used in giving orders, let him 
only add the letter o. Example. Milana, to 
over-haul , mila, over-haul (thou), mila.o, over¬ 
haul (you). The above rules apply to all 
verbs in the language. 

32d. The auxiliary signs of Hindoos¬ 
tanee verbs are two, and may be reduced to 
one conjugation thus : 

PRESENT. 

Singular. Plural. 

1 . Muen boon, lam, Hum huen, we-are.

It is moreover the imperative with the pronoun affixed, 
bolo toom, speak you ; except the second person sin¬

1 . Bolenge, we shall or will speak. 

2 . Bologe, you shall or will speak. 

3. Bolenge, they shall or will speak. 

The foregoing portion of the verb bolna, 
comprizes all that is essential to learners., 
who can find very little difficulty in any other 
verb, since even hona, to be, to exist, and 
jana, to go, or to be, in the passive are both 
conjugated like bolna j except in the perfect 
tense, where hoo.a is used for ho 4 a, and guya 
forjaya. In fact, all verbs that have a be¬ 
fore na, are so irregular in the perfect, as to 
require the consonant y between the two 
vowels ; thus pana, to find, has paya found, 
for pa 4 a, the regular form ; as jaya, changed 
now to guya, gone , occurs for ja 4 a. This 
slight deviation, for the sake of sound, is 
almost the only one that exists among the 
whole verbs of the language. Marna, to 
beat, is conjugated as bolna j but being an

mean about 10 (9 or 11) or 20 (19 or 21) as 
an elliptical mode of expressing—dus, ek kum

Days of the Week. 

Hindoostanee. Hindu wee. English. 

Etwar* Kubee-bar Sunday 

Som-war, or 
Peer 


• The Moosulman’s Etwar, or Sunday, commences 
with what we, as well as the Hindoos, call Saturday 
nighty Suneechur kee rat, and so on throughout the 
week. As this confusion of time may be productive of 
mischief, in cases of evidence for capital offences, the 
reader will not, I trust, be displeased with the present 
digression. Suppose a Moosulman were on his trial for 
murdering a Hindoo on Tuesday night, Mungul kee 
rat, in our and the Hindoos sense of the word, all the 
witnesses, if Moosulmans, and aware of the above cir¬ 
cumstance, could save the criminal, though guilty, by 
swearing positively to his being far from the spot on 
Mungul kee rat; because this, in their way of reckon¬ 
ing time, coincides with what we, and the Hindoos, 
call Somwar kee rat, Monday night ,* while our Mun-

gul kee rat, on the other hand, is in fact named Bood t h 
kee rat, by the followers of Moohummud, though we 
and the Hindoos would certainly call this Wednesday 
night of theirs, our Tuesday night, and vice versa. 
Now, in such a case, an alibi might be clearly es¬ 
tablished by the evidences upon oath, and that too with¬ 
out being guilty of perjury, as they are here supposed 
to know that their different depositions will be taken 
down, and translated verbatim as they make them, viz. 
Mungul kee rat, which we would interpret as Tuesday 
night, and the alibi set upon this foundation, clears the 
prisoner, while it screens the witnesses also* because 
they may safely say, we swore to his being absent from 
the spot where the murder was committed, on Tuesday 
night, it is true, according to your ideas of the matter* 
yet 4 we, undoubtedly, meant no more by doing so, 
than that, on our Monday night, the culprit was many

proposition can be reversed, so as to affect the life of an 
innocent man, I tremble at the very idea of it, and 
shall feel truly happy indeed, if the present extended 
digression put people in future more on their guard, in 
all matters depending upon time : particularly my mi¬

month, as these may? be connected with muster 
or pay day.

previous to their execution, between a Moosulman and 
a British officer, if the latter has ordered the former to 
carry a particular operation into effect on Mungul kee 
rat, as Tuesday night, his expectations will evidently 
be anticipated one whole day, as the Moosulman accord¬ 
ing to his notion of time, will in this case do the duty 

required upon Monday night. To point out the possi-

than described, in its fullest extent.

This, however, varies much in its value, 
and the extremes may probably be eighteen 
and fourteen roopees to the mcohur, accord¬ 
ing to its intrinsic worth in gold, or the 
caprices of the money-changers at the time j 
as they frequently extort whatever they please, 
in this way, from all other classes of people. 
As very satisfactory lists, and most useful 
tables of weights and measures, are now in¬ 
serted in the several Registers published in the 
East Indies, it would be absurd in me to re¬ 
print them 5 I shall therefore refer all sojour¬ 
ners, for every information of this sort, to 
the most accurate works, which are procura- 


termed dookra ; but, after all, except with the puesa, 
ana, roopiyu, and moohur, the stranger will not at 
first have much business or connection. As he prolongs 
his stay or extends his enquiries, he will learn what 
kuorees and puns also are.

It is now incumbent upon me to acknow¬ 
ledge, that many of the foregoing principles 
have been selected by me from Dr. Borthwick 
Gilchrist’s valuable works, to which, with 
pleasure, I refer my Nautical Readers, who 
wish to extend their knowledge of the Hin- 
doostanee language, beyond what is merely 
requisite to enable them to perform their se¬ 
veral duties, with comfort to themselves and 
satisfaction to their employers. To every per¬ 
son who is qualified to make the experiment, 
upon trial it will at once appear evident, that 
there is little difference between the rules of 
the high or Court Hindoostance, and the 
dialect spoken by the Lascars ; at least, in 
my opinion, the distinction is not so great as 
$ 


lxvi 


FIRST PRINCIPLES OF 


between the polished language of our own 
country and that spoken by the seamen on 
board of English ships. The fact is this, that 
the distinction between the high Hindoostanee 
and that jargon as .spoken by the Lascars, 
consists in a number of words from the 
English, Portuguese, and other languages, 
being introduced into the latter, and not in the 
application of the rules. Independant of this, 
many Hindoostanee words are used by the 
Lascars, which are perfectly unintelligible to 
the natives ashore, as is the case in our own 
language. 

To those who have not leisure or inclina¬ 
tion to study the First Principles of this lan¬ 
guage, so as from the body of the Dictionary, 
to form such sentences or give such orders a9 
they may wish to the Lascars, the Words of 
Command and Sea Phrases, at the end of the 


HINDOOSTANEE GRAMMAR, lxvii 


book, will be found particularly convenient. 
I must here acquaint the Reader, that it has 
been more my endeavour to express the English 
sentences in the language and idiom of the 
Lascars, than to give a literal translation of 
them, which would not be so well under¬ 
stood.
